Do I have any real value?

Not only do you have a reason for you life on this planet, but you also are a very unique and valuable person. You are a precise individual, tailor-made by the great Designer. You are God's special creation.

Before you were formed in the womb, the Bible tells us that God was already involved in the shaping of your life. Here is what the Bible says, "you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made... your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" (Psalm 139:13-14, 16). God made you who you are. You are not a product of some random evolutionary process. Think it through -- there are billions of people on this planet and you are the only one with your fingerprints and DNA structure. Furthermore, if the DNA strands from your body were stretched out in sequence, they would reach to the sun and back (93 million miles) 400 times. You are a complex, unique individual, made in the image of God!

When Jesus Christ was on this earth 2,000 years ago, He prayed to God the Father, "to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me" (John 17:23). The Son of God wanted you to know that God the Father wants to love you just like He loves His own Son. That's amazing, and it makes you very special.
